Ryan Mercer

Ryan Mercer spent five years as a financial analyst before he bought his first duplex in East Austin. He now helps other investors buy homes that rent well from the first month and hold their value over time.

His clients include first-time landlords, out-of-state investors and families building long-term wealth. Ryan treats every purchase like a small business plan, with rent, repairs, taxes and vacancy checked before any offer.

How Ryan works with investors

Each search starts with your goals and your numbers. Ryan builds a simple model for every property you like, then visits it with a contractor so repair costs are real, not guessed.

• Rent, cash-flow and yield model for every shortlisted home
• Contractor walk-through before you make an offer
• Off-market duplex and fourplex leads from local owners
• A direct hand-off to our leasing team after closing

‍

Neighbourhoods he knows best

East Austin and Govalle for steady rental demand near downtown, Montopolis for newer townhomes and Del Valle for larger lots with room to grow. He knows which streets attract long-term tenants and which turn over every year.

If the numbers only work in a perfect year, they do not work. Buy for the average year.
